The Mosquito at Laramie.

The mnsquito is bird with two
wings and a long, hollow bill.
1t is q native of New Jersey and the
Laramie Plains.
1t follows the same business some
gentlemen in Wall street follow. They
are a different kind OF bird, though.
There is more business to the square
inch of mosquito than there is to
4O-stamp mill. That is, to reduce
both to the same size.
In business relations the mosquito
is closely allied to the buffalo gnat and
the flying ant.
Some say the flying ant is the COM
mon ant before it sheds its wings.
Others say it is the ant angel.
I've got an aunt, but she is not an
angel.

Until Jay Gould came West the
mosquito had the business all to him
self. The only competition -was the
wood and tie contractors and the city

The mosquito. is3sa mean bird to
catch.
The best trap l know OF for them is
a bare arm. 1t never fails if properly
baited.
The mosquito has very familiar
voice. So familiar, indeed, that |
firmly believe 1 would recognize it in
California or the Mississippi Valley.
It's fun to see tenderfoot when
he first comes to Laramie Plains.
He tries to catch all the mosquitoes
in the Territory. One stayed all night
at "Dirty Woman's Ranch" last
Summer.

He told the truth. He only lived

English and American Wines.

As to wines in Great Britain, they
are as expensive as with us and more
uncertain as to quality. Wherever
there is land which makes no wine,
and England makes none, and duty
is maintained upon imported wine, the
temptation to blend, compound and
admix is immense. Some OF the
worse liquor in England | have bought
out of cooperative stores, where you
have the assurance of large class
that everything is pure. Five shillings
is the normal price in England of a
bottle of ordinary clarct or st. Julien.
The same claret can be bought i'll
America for from $4 to $6 a case.
They have plenty OF port and sherry
in England, and most OF it is pure,
but these strong wines are very little
consumed in our day outside OF En-

We believe in the man or woman
who has enemies" This does not
seem sound, but is. Your milk-and-

with simply doing 10 harm, at the
same time do no good. They are
mere negatives. Your man OF force,
who does not wait for a stone to get
hurled out of his way, but manfully
rolls it over, may. unintentionally,

thousands who have to go that way
will thank him for clearing it. The

A HAN UP A TREE,
How a Union Captain Spotted Him
in n Dense Oak i'm Missippi.

Many thrilling accounts are told by
vetearns of the annoyance caused our
forces, throughout the army, by the
rebel sharp-shooters hanging on the
skirts OF encampments during the
late war.
Early on the morning OF thea
skirmish line, composed mainly of the
Forty-eighth Illinois, was thrown out
in advance of our army, living near
Jackson, Miss, confronting Gen.
Joseph Johnston. The men had con-
structed few temparory shelters by
standing rails upright, leaning against
each other, the tops being bound to-
gether.
Behind one of these little fortresses,
though in a rather exposed position,
Capt. F. d. Stephenson, OF the Forty
eighth, was sitting on u turned-up
bucket, taking his morning coffee. AS
he threw back his head in drinking a
whiz was heard and bail sped
within half an inch OF his face, di-
rectly across the eyes taking effect in
a little dogwood tree beside him.
The Captain rose quietly and taking
ramrod stuck it in the ground, so
that its top wound be in the space
lately occupied by his nose; he then
went behind the tree and sighted
from the bullet-hole over the top of
the rod, thus ascertaining the direc-
ton taken by the ball in it's flight.
Directly in this line rose the top of a
large oak, with great sheets OF South
ern moss hanging dependent from it's
boughs.
"Boys," said Stephenson, evenly,
=" OUR man is among the branches of
that tree yonder." Now" taking a
soldiers cap and placing it on the end
of a knotted stick, "you all load up
and lie low." when l shove this
hat into view, he will fire again.
There's your chance, let drive"
When all was ready he slowly
elevated the cap until just in sight
from the tree.
A puff of white smoke burst from its
leaves and the cap turned round on its
stick support, letting the daylight
through large jagged hole in its
crown.
A moment later six Springfield
rifles spoke from the rail pile and q
man dropped from the oak tree.

Letter that Touched the Hearts
OF several Tough Drummers.

lie hurried up to the office as soon
as he entered the hotel, and, with
out waiting to register, inquired
eagerly:
Any letter for me?v
The clerk sorted over package
with the negligent attention that
comes OF practice, then Topped one
"a very small one-on the counter.
The travelling man took it with a
curious smile that twisted his pleas
ant-looking face into mask of ex-
pectancy.
He smiled more as he read it. Then
oblivious of other travellers who
lostled him, he laid it tenderly against
his lips and actually kissed it.
A loud gunaw startled him.
Now look here, old fellow" said a
loud voice, {" that won't do, you know.
Too spoony for anything. Confess,
now, your wife didn't write that let
ter"
" No, she didn't" said the travel
ing man, with an amazed look, as if
he would like to change the subject.
" That letter is from my best girl"
The admission was so unexpected
that the trio of friends who had
caught him said no more until after
they had eaten good dinner and
were seated together in a chum's
room.
Then they began to badger him.
Its no use; you've got to read it
to us, Dick" said one OF them; we
want to know all about your best
girl"
-" So you shall,' said Dick, with
great coolness; 1 will give you the
letter and you can read it yourselves.
There it is" and he laid it open ON the
table.
i" / guess not" said the one who
had been the loudest in demanding it,
{" we like to chaff a little, but l hope
we are gentlemen. The young lady
would hardly care to have her letter
read by this crowd" and he looked
reproachfully at his friend.
But | must insist upon it," was
the answer: " there is nothing in
it to be ashamed of--except the SPELL
ing-that is little shaky, I'll admit
but she won't care in the least. Read
it, Hardy, and Judge for yourself"
Thus urged Hardy took up the let
ter, shamefacedly enough and read it
There were only a few words. First
he laughed-then swallowed suspi-
ciously, and as he finished threw it on
the table again and rubbed the back
of his hands across his eyes, as ii
troubled with dimness OF vision,
Pshaw," he said, "If | had a
Lowell letter like that" and then was
silent.
Fair play" cried one of the others
with an uneasy laugh.
"Pll read it to you, boys" said
their friend, seeing they made no
move to take it, "and | think you'll
agree with me that it's a model love-
letter"
And this is what they read:
mi owen deer PAPA
"I So mi PRairs every mite and
Wen kiss yure Pictshure ASK god
to bless you good bi PAPA yure best
gurl DOLLY"
For moment or two the company
remained silent, while the little letter
was passed from hand to hand, and
would have said that each and every
one had hay fever by the snufiline
that was heard. Then Hardy jumped
to his feet.

cheers more for Dicks best girl'
